Texas is bracing for an influx of flesh-eating flies, posing a potential threat to livestock and wildlife. These parasitic flies, already observed expanding their range and impacting vulnerable species like endangered wild mountain tapirs in Colombia, have raised concerns among Texan authorities. Preparations are underway to mitigate the potential impact of this invasive species and protect the state's animal populations. The situation is being closely monitored to prevent widespread infestation and minimize ecological damage.
